Offer to write some neat programs for the Freerunner
So, I want to start my Freerunner development back up. I was thinking of a few different Apps to write, please give your comments (Tell me what you want): A) Assassin game A game where you can 'kill' other Openmokos, it would like Via Bluetooth/Wifi. This would mostly be a gimmick based off of http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Assassin_%28game%29 B) Open Source Push Everybody has heard of Push, right. This whole Push E-mail, Push application notification. I was basically playing with the idea of writing a push framework for the Freerunner. People could write apps that would be triggered by emails, weather changes, etc. C) Traffic monitoring, and call management This idea entails that when you are driving at high speeds on the roads, it'll put your phone into a silent profile mode. It could also setup call forwarding/allow an SMS to come in that would unlock the freerunner's mode, in case of emergency call. Now one thing, I'm planning on charging for these apps. A tiny bit, but still a bit. I need the cash. So, tell me what do you guys want to buy first? ___ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community

My Sentences with parameters (e.g., See you in X mins) Customizable emotion symbols (e.g. :-o, ^_^) You can develop your own layout or language pack with SDK tool. 2) My agenda on my Desktop just like alarmToday see http://www.pocketmax.net starting apps and turning on/off wifi bluethooth is already don by Openmokopanel 3) Make Openmokopanel better, less cpu and mem, possibility to make it lager (my eyes are getting less) This are my 2 cents (willing to pay a little bit more =^D, see price's an the website's above. payment by paypall??) hope this is wat you want, Greetings, Jos.

Re: Offer to write some neat programs for the Freerunner
Tiny mail is query based, or pull. That means it eats up more batteries than a push based system, also it is not a general purpose push framework... Not so true, tinymail will use IMAP IDLE if available and that is a push mechanism.

Re: Offer to write some neat programs for the Freerunner
IMAP IDLE is not a push mechanism... SMS is a push mechanism. Something that doesn't require the FR to be out of suspend mode before a push... Also, tinymail is designed around e-mail messages, and isn't designed as a general purpose push mechanism.
